Llangollen is named after St Collen (Llan meaning Church - therefore Church of St Collen). The River Dee flows through the town, and is bordered by the Llangollen Steam Railway. A full size version of Thomas the Tank operates out of the station, complete with a Fat Controller.

Llangollen is in an area that boasts an outstanding array of historical places to see, like Castell Dinas Bran, Valle Crucis Abbey, the Llangollen Canal and Aquaeduct, Eliseg's Pillar (once was a Cross) erected in honour of King Eliseg of Powys.

Llangollen is in the traditional county of Denbighshire, now Clwyd, and is a bustling market town of no great size, but so interesting it is well worthy of a visit.
